Photo Gallery: Marion Swamp Fox Festival Day 2 — Parade in the Park

Marion Patch was at the Swamp Fox Festival's parade. We captured the Marion residents and Marion enthusiasts enjoying live music at Marion Square Park.

Hundreds of Marion residents and community members boarded 158 floats Saturday morning for the 23rd Annual Swamp Fox Parade.

Even more festival goers parked their kiesters in folding chairs along the approximately 1 mile parade route in anticipation of seeing floats from community members, local nonprofits, businesses and politicians, like Iowa State Senator Liz Mathis, route: {:controller=>"articles", :action=>"show", :id=>"senator-liz-mathis-officially-files-for-district-34"} --> and

What are the best "green" solutions for weed control?

Hi Beth. My name is Willie Wellington and I own/operate Insite Lawn Care and Landscaping. We haveRead More used green products for over seven years now and recommend these solutions for you. The best 'green' solutions are using corn gluten as a preemergent right now. As for post-emergent control - look for a horticultural grade vinegar (10-20% acetic acid) and apply it on a warm sunny day. It is nonselective - meaning it will kill or damage anything that you spray it on. You can also find some people using a product called the Green Guardian. It is an all natural post-emergent and fertilizer. Please remember that natural products take longer than chemical products but can produce better results in the long run while also being better for the environment.
